Task 3: Product Sketching

This task was to go to the 80’s is Back Exhibition, the Re-loved Exhibition, the Australian International Design Awards Exhibition, the 20 years of Industrial Design Exhibition at the UNSW, the Workshopped Exhibition in Chifley Plaza and the Society for Responsible Design Exhibition. There we were surposed to sketch a total of 5 objects which were the best design. These are it:

 

One design that stood out from the 80’s is Back Exhibition was the Sony Walkman. It was the best design of the lot as I was able to see how technology has evolved exceptionally since the 80’s. I was able to compare how technology has changed from plastic cassettes to mp3/mp4 digital files to store music and how the consumers needs have changed from a simple want of listening to music to progress on having a devise that should be smaller, compact, big in capacity and stylish as well. Also being a person who owned one of these as a kid I was able to relate to this product, seeing how once it was the best way to listen to music on the move and how it was sought by everyone like the IPod nano is now.

  

From the Re-loved Exhibition, the design that was the best of the lot was the chair which was made out of one piece of plastic as if it was moulded to fit the human body. I liked this design the most due to its simplistic yet innovative approach enabling to produce a chair that is able to hold the average human weight in one piece.

 

The Australian International Design Awards Exhibition displayed a lot of innovative ideas but the one that struck out the most was the Signos Pocket sized Ultrasound system as the designer has reproduced an existing product making it portable. The ability of the design to do so has solved a problem when it comes to getting an ultrasound by pregnant women that may not be able to travel to a clinic. I was able to see the vital significance and convenience of the product and its ability to help women anywhere in the world that aren’t able to get an ultra sound.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
From the ID20, 20 years of Industrial Design Exhibition at the UNSW, the above object was the most appealing due to its shimmering and metallic exterior appearance.
 
 















From the Workshopped Exhibition in Chifley Plaza, The Chris Hardy – Oru and Powder Chair stood out the most as the most appealing as I wanted to recline in the chair and relax. It portrayed a firm and simplistic structure that can be sat in with ease.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The project by Xindong Che, Halo – conceptual surgical light from the Society for Responsible Design Exhibition, I found to be the best due to his conceptual idea of redeveloping a surgical light fulfilling its purpose but more innovatively. His design enbling to capture the light capacity in a surgical room by differing its shape to being curvature is brilliant.
 

These are other sketches I produced whislt at these exhibitions.
